*It's coercive, not Amber is!

I think Amber it's coercive. We were given a scene where she didn't want to have sex but gave in before now and we know how George is. I really hope this story line shows a woman who can get away from the situation rather than years of abuse. My hope for that lies with Chelsea and Brad.

Why does everyone keep saying Amber loves George when she clearly doesn't? (Also if the script writers make that girl have this baby I think I'll have to stop listening again!) #TheArchers

Why wasn't Chelsea there to prop me up when I was getting divorced? She would've saved me a lot of trouble. #TheArchers

Yes. Everything was coming home to roost. It would be interesting to see which characters choose the redemption on offer and which double down with their nasty ways.

I thought that briefly then remembered Martha. I can't see Martin's house being that child friendly.

He will. But not before days or weeks of agonising first.

I've only been listening for 25 years. Has Tony got a point about his mother not loving him? #TheArchers

George is doing them extra days then... #thearchers

She makes "a bit" of money doing it? She's a hobbyist then - it's not really work. It would be more honest to say she wants to be an influencer than she is one.

Mine too - it would have been realistic but the show seems to avoid it even more than cancer. #TheArchers

What in the Joseph-and-his-
Technicolour-Dream-Coat is going on with this dahlia? 🌱

And THIS is why I wanted to grow dahlias! 🌱

Not dahlias 🌱

Dahlias 🌱

Your dahlia looks lovely! I had to look up the beetle and it looks like we don't have it here in the UK - no advice, sorry!

Dahlia beds about to pop off. 🌱

I 100% understand why he reacted the way he did but it still wasn't OK to take over and go yo Amber like that. He was also probably right about George but that's not the point imo.

George's goes without saying. Susan made her own decision about the ring, rightly or wrongly, and Neil steamrollered her.

My comment came off the back of being in a healthy relationship lesson run by the police at my school the day before so it was very fresh in my mind. Neil is amazing but that specific behaviour was just one big red flag. #TheArchers

I am normally on Team Neil but Susan was making her own choice in full knowledge. Neil had no right to step in there no matter how easy it is to see why. #TheArchers

Family plus trauma bond?

Tempting as it is, when Amber loses the too-big ring, I mustn't blame George. All the same, little shit that he is, I'm starting to think Amber is too good for him. #TheArchers

I literally came here to say that.

Tonight's episode was a bit Waiting for Godot. Nothing happened. #thearchers Eddie Grundy is sooo boring.

Time to get the pitchforks and torches out of the garden shed, I reckon. #postofficescandal

A red dahlia, unknown type.

A yellow dahlia with some purple and yellow wallflowers behind.

An orangey-yellowish dahlia. My favourite at the moment.

Finally the dahlias are starting to do their thing. 🌱
